THIS CONSENT TO SECOND ADDENDUM TO CREDIT AGREEMENT and RATIFICATION OF GUARANTY (“Consent and Ratification”) is made by John Pappajohn (“Personal Guarantor”) and delivered to Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (“Bank”) effective as of March 30, 2009.

RECITALS:

 

A. Cancer Genetics, Inc. (“Borrower”) and the Bank entered into a Credit Agreement, dated as of April 29, 2008, as amended from time to time (“Credit Agreement”) pursuant to which the Bank has made the Line available to the Borrower. The Borrower has requested that the Bank increase the Line, as evidenced by a promissory note, dated March 30, 2009, in the original principal amount of Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00) (“New Revolving Note”). In conjunction with the New Revolving Note, the Borrower and Bank entered into a Second Addendum to Credit Agreement, dated as of March 30, 2009 (the “Second Addendum”).

 

B. At the Borrower’s request, the Personal Guarantor has agreed to (i) unconditionally guaranty the repayment of the New Revolving Note pursuant to a written guaranty, dated March 30, 2009, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” (the “Guaranty”) and (ii) authorizes the Bank to make, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, an advance under the Personal Guarantor’s personal line of credit at the Bank and use the proceeds of such advance to reduce the Borrower’s obligations under the New Revolving Note.

 

C. The Bank has agreed to increase the Line in accordance with the terms of the Second Addendum, provided that all of the conditions precedent set out in the Second Addendum are satisfied in full, including, without limitation, the execution and delivery to the Bank of (i) the Guaranty and (ii) this Consent and Ratification by the Personal Guarantor.

NOW THEREFORE, the Personal Guarantor agrees:

 

1. The Recital Paragraphs are incorporated in this Consent and Ratification as though fully set forth herein. The Personal Guarantor has been provided with a copy of the New Revolving Note and Second Addendum and acknowledges receipt of the same.

 

2. The Personal Guarantor hereby consents to the Second Addendum and the New Revolving Note.

 

3. The Personal Guarantor hereby ratifies the Guaranty and acknowledges that the Guaranty is in full force and effect with respect to the obligations secured by the Guaranty, including all extensions, renewals, replacements or refinancing thereof, which may be owed by the Borrower to the Bank now or in the future.

 

4.

The Personal Guarantor hereby acknowledges and agrees that his personal line of credit with the Bank that is evidenced by a promissory note, dated March 30, 2009, as amended and/or modified, in the principal amount of $8,000,000 (and any extensions, renewals, replacements or refinancings thereof) (“Personal Guarantor Line of Credit”) will be reduced by Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00) to effect the Personal Guarantor’s support of the New Revolving Note and all extensions, renewals, replacements or refinancings thereof. The Personal Guarantor further agrees that upon (i) a default by the Borrower under the terms of the Credit Agreement and/or


  the New Revolving Note or (ii) the maturity date of the New Revolving Note, the Bank is hereby authorized to make an advance under the Personal Guarantor Line of Credit and apply the proceeds of such advance to the New Revolving Note.

The Guarantor further agrees that in the event the Personal Guarantor Line of Credit is not renewed or extended upon its expiration or is otherwise terminated, the Guarantor shall provide to the Bank a standby letter of credit, or some other form of collateral that would be acceptable to the Bank in its sole discretion in support of the obligations owed by the Borrower under the New Revolving Note, issued by a banking institution acceptable to the Bank in an amount not less than Four Million Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($4,500,000.00), naming the Bank as the beneficiary thereunder.

 

5. Except for “Core Proceedings” under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the Bank and the Personal Guarantor agree to submit to binding arbitration all claims, disputes and controversies between or among them, whether in tort, contract or otherwise (and their respective employees, officers, directors, attorneys, and other agents) arising out of or relating to in any way the Guaranty, this Consent and Ratification, the Credit Agreement, the New Revolving Note and/or other documents and agreements executed in conjunction therewith and their negotiation, execution, collateralization, administration, repayment, modification, extension, substitution, formation, inducement, enforcement, default or termination. Any arbitration proceeding will (i) proceed in Des Moines, Iowa; (ii) be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (Title 9 of the United States Code); and (iii) be conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”).

This arbitration requirement does not limit the right of either party to (i) foreclose against collateral; (ii) exercise self-help remedies relating to collateral or proceeds of collateral such as setoff or repossession; or (iii) obtain provisional ancillary remedies such as replevin, injunctive relief, attachment or the appointment of a receiver, before, during or after the pendency or any arbitration proceeding. This exclusion does not constitute a waiver of the right or obligation of either party to submit any dispute to arbitration, including those arising from the exercise of the actions detailed in sections (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section.

Any arbitration proceeding will be before a single arbitrator selected according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the AAA. The arbitrator will be a neutral attorney who has practiced in the area of commercial law for a minimum of ten years. The arbitrator will determine whether or not an issue is arbitratable and will give effect to the statutes of limitation in determining any claim. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

In any arbitration proceeding the arbitrator will decide (by documents only or with a hearing at the arbitrator’s discretion) any pre-hearing motions which are similar to motions to dismiss for failure to state a claim or motions for summary adjudication.

In any arbitration proceeding, discovery will be permitted and will be governed by the Iowa Rules of Civil Procedure. All discovery must be completed no later than 20 days before the hearing date and within 180 days of the commencement of arbitration proceedings. Any requests for an extension of the discovery periods, or any discovery disputes, will be subject to final determination by the arbitrator upon a showing that the request for discovery is essential for the party’s presentation and that no alternative means for obtaining information is available.

The arbitrator shall award costs and expenses of the arbitration proceeding in accordance with the provisions of the New Revolving Note.

This Section shall survive the payment of all obligations to the Bank.

7. This Consent and Ratification shall be construed in accordance with the laws of Iowa applicable to contracts performed entirely within the State. Any action to enforce the provisions of this Consent and Ratification or arising from the actions of any party in connection therewith, shall be brought in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Iowa or in the Iowa District Court in Polk County, Iowa, except such action as may be necessary by the Bank to protect, preserve and realize its security interest in collateral located in another jurisdiction.

 

8. The Guarantor does hereby release and forever discharge the Bank, Wells Fargo & Company and their respective affiliates and their officers, directors, attorneys, agents, employees, successors and assigns from all causes of action, suits, claims and demands of every kind and character, liquidated or unliquidated, fixed, contingent, direct or indirect without limit, including any action in law or equity, which the Guarantor now has or may ever have had against them, if the circumstances giving rise to such causes of action, suits, claims and demands (a) are related in any manner whatsoever to the transactions which are the subject of this Consent and Ratification and (b) arose prior to the date of this Consent and Ratification.

Dated: March 30, 2009

FOR VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, and to induce the Bank in its sole discretion to make loans or extend other accommodations to or for the account of the Borrower, the undersigned gives this Personal Guaranty (the “Guaranty”), and absolutely and unconditionally guarantees to the Bank the full and prompt payment of each and every debt, liability or obligation of the Borrower to the Bank relating to or arising out of the Credit Agreement dated to be effective April 29, 2008, as amended by a First Addendum to Credit Agreement dated July 7, 2008, and a Second Addendum to Credit Agreement dated March 30, 2009, together with any deposit account related overdrafts of the Borrower (All such obligations, including but not limited to every promissory note, instrument, or other agreement given by the Borrower evidencing any such obligations, and any extensions, renewals, replacements or refinancings of same, to collectively be referred to as the “Indebtedness”.)

This Guaranty is an absolute, unconditional and continuing guaranty of payment of the Indebtedness and shall continue to be binding upon the undersigned, whether or not all Indebtedness is paid in full, until this Guaranty is revoked prospectively in writing as to future transactions. Such revocation shall not be effective until actually received in writing by the Bank and then shall not be effective as to Indebtedness existing or committed to at the time of revocation, and shall not be effective as to renewals, extensions, or refinancings of existing Indebtedness, whether such Indebtedness, is renewed before or after receipt of such notice of revocation. The death or incompetence of the undersigned shall not revoke this Guaranty until written notice of such death or incompetence is actually received by the Bank, and then only prospectively as to future transactions as set forth above.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraphs, the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be limited to a principal amount of $4,500,000.00, plus accrued interest on the full amount of the Indebtedness and all attorneys’ fees, collection costs and enforcement expenses incurred by the Bank in collecting on and enforcing its rights under the Indebtedness and incurred in connection with the protection, defense or enforcement of this Guaranty in any litigation or bankruptcy proceedings. The Indebtedness may be created and continued in any amount, whether or not in excess of such principal amount, without reducing or impairing the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty. Any payment made by the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be effective to reduce or discharge the undersigned’s liability only if accompanied by a written transmittal document, received by the Bank and advising it that such payment is made under this Guaranty for such purpose.

The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees with Bank that:

1. No act or event need occur to establish the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty, and no act or event, except full payment and discharge of all Indebtedness, shall exonerate and discharge the liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty.

 

1


2. If the undersigned dies or becomes insolvent (however defined) then the Bank may declare immediately due and payable the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty, and the undersigned shall immediately pay to the Bank the full amount of all Indebtedness, whether due and payable or unmatured. If the undersigned voluntarily commences or there is commenced involuntarily against the undersigned a case under the United States Bankruptcy Code, the obligations of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall immediately be due and payable without the necessity of demand or notice.

3. The undersigned will not exercise or enforce any right of contribution, reimbursement, recourse or subrogation available to the undersigned against the Borrower or any person liable for payment of the Indebtedness, or as to any collateral securing the Indebtedness, unless and until all of the Indebtedness shall have first been fully paid and discharged.

4. The Bank may in its discretion enter into transactions resulting in the creation or continuance of Indebtedness, without notice to or the consent or approval of the undersigned, regardless of whether or not any existing relationship between the Borrower and the undersigned has been revoked and regardless of whether this Guaranty has been revoked.

5. The liability of the undersigned shall not be reduced or impaired by any of the following acts or events (which the Bank, after advance notification to the Undersigned, is expressly authorized to do, omit or suffer from time to time, both before and after revocation of this Guaranty, without the consent or approval of the undersigned): (a) any acceptance of collateral security, guarantors, accommodation parties or sureties for any or all of the Indebtedness; (b) any one or more extensions or renewals of Indebtedness (whether or not for a period longer than the original period) or any modification of the interest rate, maturity or other contractual terms applicable to all or part of the Indebtedness; (c) any waiver or indulgence granted to Borrower, any delay or lack of diligence in the enforcement of the Indebtedness, or any failure to institute proceedings, file a claim, give any required notices or otherwise protect any of the Indebtedness; (d) any full or partial release of, settlement with, or agreement not to sue, Borrower or any other guarantor or other person liable with respect to any of the Indebtedness; (e) any discharge of any evidence of Indebtedness or the acceptance of any instrument renewing or refinancing the Indebtedness; (f) any failure to obtain collateral security (including rights of setoff) for the Indebtedness, or to assure its proper or sufficient creation, perfection, or priority, or to protect, insure, or enforce any collateral security; or any modification, substitution, discharge, impairment, or loss of such collateral security; (g) any foreclosure or enforcement of any collateral security by the Bank or any other creditor of the Borrower with a security interest in the collateral security; (h) any assignment or transfer of any Indebtedness or documentation evidencing the Indebtedness; (i) any order of application of any payments or credits upon the Indebtedness from the Borrower, the undersigned, or any other person; and (j) any election by the Bank under §1111(b)(2) of the United States Bankruptcy Code.

6. The undersigned waives any and all defenses, claims and discharges of Borrower, or any other obligor, pertaining to the Indebtedness, except the defense of discharge by payment in full. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, the undersigned will not assert, plead or enforce against the Bank any defense of waiver, release, discharge in bankruptcy, statute of limitations, res judicata, statute of frauds, anti-deficiency statute, misrepresentation or fraud, incapacity, minority, usury, illegality or unenforceability which may be available to Borrower or

 

2


any other party liable for payment of any of the Indebtedness, or any setoff available against the Bank to Borrower or any such other person, whether or not on account of a related transaction. The undersigned shall be liable for any deficiency remaining after foreclosure of any mortgage, deed of trust or security interest securing the Indebtedness, whether or not the liability of the Borrower or any other obligor for such deficiency is discharged pursuant to statute or judicial decision.

7. The Bank may in its sole discretion demand that the undersigned discharge its obligations under this Guaranty at any time, whether at the time of the scheduled or accelerated maturity of the Indebtedness or at any earlier or later time, and regardless of whether there has been a default with respect to the Indebtedness. The Bank shall not be required to first resort for payment of the Indebtedness to the Borrower or to any other person or their properties, or to first enforce, realize upon, or exhaust any collateral security given to secure the Indebtedness before enforcing this Guaranty. The undersigned waives presentment, demand for payment, notice of dishonor or nonpayment, and protest of any instrument evidencing part or all of the Indebtedness.

8. If any payment applied by the Bank to the Indebtedness is later set aside, recovered, rescinded or required to be returned for any reason (including, without limitation, the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of the Borrower or any other obligor), the Indebtedness to which such payment was applied shall for the purposes of this Guaranty be deemed to have continued in existence, notwithstanding such application, and this Guaranty shall be enforceable as to such Indebtedness as fully as if such application had never been made.

9. The liability of the undersigned under this Guaranty is in addition to and cumulative with all other liabilities of the undersigned to the Bank as a guarantor or otherwise, without limitation as to amount, unless the instrument or agreement evidencing or creating such other liability specifically provides to the contrary.

10. This Guaranty shall be enforceable regardless of the failure of other persons to sign other guaranties of the Indebtedness. This Guaranty shall be effective upon delivery to the Bank, without further act, condition or acceptance by the Bank, shall be binding upon the undersigned and the heirs, representatives, successors and assigns of the undersigned for the benefit of the Bank and its participants, successors and assigns. Any invalidity or unenforceability of any provision or application shall not affect other lawful provisions and applications of this Guaranty, which is severable. This Guaranty may not be waived, modified, amended, terminated, released or otherwise changed except by a writing signed by both the undersigned and the Bank. This Guaranty is issued in and shall be governed by the laws of the State of Iowa.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY

The undersigned hereby waives the right to a trial by jury in any action relating to this Guaranty
